90 Years Young!!!

House of Broadley would like to congratulate the oldest member of the house!

Happy 90th Grandpa ... we were so happy that we could share this special day with you. We enjoyed the celebrations, reception, fireworks put on by the local council and the thousands of flowers sent to your estate!

Swedish Immigrant of the Year Named!

Crowds of Gather to See the Star..

House of Broadley was in Göteborg to see 'Sweden's Immigrant of the Year' 2006.

Sir Broadley was proud to take the stage and thank his loyal followers and fans.. In particular he thanked Madam Broadley for helping him master the wearing of 'Swedish Man-Scarf' for all occasions. He also announced his entry in this year's Eurovision Song Contest with a remake of the ABBA song 'thank you for the music'!

CDs hit the stores this spring. All profits will go to his wife to buy new shoes..

New Immigrant to Norway!!

Happy scenes for a mother and her 'sons'..

A family is celebrating tonight after managing to avoid the strict immigration controls coming into Norway. Posing as a small child being breast fed by his 'mother', Mr Lango was able to enter the country quickly and easily. House of Broadley will be investigating this incident as soon as possible.



We will keep you posted on the news as it comes to hand.

I'm dreaming of a white January..

For the first time in an action packed 28 years I built my first snowman on Saturday!! Madam B and I were overjoyed to have over 30cm of snow land on our doorstep.

As I am writing this letter it is a cold -13c outside the apartment and I have therefore decided to postpone my evening exercise outside..

We have had a relaxing weekend and really enjoyed being outside and seeing Örebro by foot. Obviously it was my idea that we went for a walk together instead of sitting inside on the sofa this weekend.

:-)

Here are some of the photos from the weekend and the late arrival of Winter to Örebro. Enjoy..

Merry Christmas!

Dear Friends and Family,


I hope you all had a great Christmas and remembered the birth of Jesus during the celebrations?!


I have attached a few phtos... more later..


November in Örebro









Moose outside our house in Luleå on Christmas Eve!!

Not Long Now..

It's been a while since I have sat down and actually written something... here goes..

Soon it will be Christmas and time has flown by again this year! It seems a life time ago that we were in Australia or even enjoying the summer weather of Örebro. Now we are both finishing off 2006 with our usual flurry of work and play.

We are returning to the backyard of Santa this year hoping to see some snow since none has materialised in Örebro. It will be nice to visit our 'home away from home' and catch up with the family and friends.

This term I have been studying Swedish after work which has also taken a lot of my free time. Thankfully I managed to pass a test at Uppsala University, which gives me an accreditation in Swedish for use at University (Svenska B).. like a HSC grade in Swedish... very rewarding.

We continue to reside in our massive estate just north of Örebro and are really happy to live close to town. We have been busy planning 2007 with our trips to England and Australia and at the moment our bank balance dictates we do nothing more in 2007!

We hope you all have a great chrissy and new year where ever you are. Over and out...

Some of my favourite photos...

I admit that they are mostly from Australia, but I rarely have my camera with me here in Sweden..

An Australian Christmas..

I like all the different people and reflections in this photo (above)

Seven Mile Beach.. with Berry Mountain .. A perfect swimming beach..
